Physics

A heavy sled is being pulled by two people as shown in thefigure. The coefficient of static friction between the sled and theground is μs = 0.571, and the kinetic friction coefficient is μk =0.395. The combined mass of the sled and its load is m = 306 kg.The ropes are separated by an angle φ = 23°, and they make an angleθ = 29.7° with the horizontal.

Assuming both ropes pull equally hard, what is the minimum ropetension required to get the sled moving?

If this rope tension is maintained after the sled starts moving,what is the sled\'s acceleration?
